Artwork: Masstransiscope (Bill Brand)

From nycsubway.org

Masstransiscope is an animated painting placed on the abandoned northbound platform of the Myrtle Avenue station, just prior to crossing the Manhattan Bridge. The animation was based on the zoetrope, essentially a series of single frames viewed through slits as the train moved past the station. The brief glimpses of the frames appeared to animate the artwork. The work has been in disrepair for many years but apparently some work is being done to it in September, 2006.
